Connecticuts peach harvest for 1887 will in quantity and quality of yield surpass that of several previous years combined. The following description of one valuable orchard, from the Hartford Courant, is very interesting-that of the Hale brothers of South Glastonbury "The peach crop, which they have been waiting for for six years, has come. They have year after year spent great deal of money on fertil- izers, and given constant care to cultivat- ing their peach trees, only to have the fall find the trees bare of fruit. This year the luck has turned, their patient and intelli- gent labor has it's reward, and if there is anything to worry over, it is the fear that the overloaded trees may break down.
 They have fifty acres of bearing peach trees These are loaded like apple trees in bearing season, but the rich color of the or, and the sight is as beautiful as it is rare for this state. And our Connecticut soil and climate are such that they give to the fruit a richer coloring than that which one sees in Delaware or Jersey orchard. The peaches are of the highest flavor, and no better fruit was ever seen in Hartford. One early Crawford that was picked the other day measured II inches around and weigh ed 10 ounces. The early Crawfords are immense this season. Beside these, there are the Oldmixons, the Stump the World and others. The Oldmixons, which are a white meated peach, are perhaps the most beautiful and tempting of all, and they are there in countless numbers. They cluster all over the trees, and are so plenty that MT. Hale said yesterday that if the threat, ening weather should raise the wind seri- ously fifty baskets or more would shake of in the night.
 He is sending now two hundred baskets day to Hartford to his headquarters in Trumbull street, where they are sold to dealers or by the basket to the public. The peaches are picked by hand and then car ried to shed or tent where they are care fully assorted into three grades and put in to baskets, distinguished by the red, white or blue label The third quality peaches are equal to the best from other states that the market has been used to, and the very best are beyond comparison. The baskets are loaded upon long wagons and drawn carefully to Hartford-the horses walking all the way. By this arrangement they are in the city the day they are picked ,and we can buy ripe peaches. Those sent from other states have to be picked long before they are ripe in order to stand trnnsporta- tion.
 The result of the harvest will be several thousand baskets from the Hale orchard MT. Hale says he has been working six years for it he may have another such crop next year and he may not for six years more. He believes, however, in constant care and inexhaustible patience, and that with these there will come years that re- ward the waiting. This is one of them, and no one interested in the success of Connecticut farmers begrudges the Hales in the legitimate reward of their hard work

THE west has the strength and the disposi- tion to ''set down on" New England, feeling that that little section has made its full share of American history in the times that tried mems souls. Our western cousins magnanl- mousIy lets this section keep it's glorious records of sacrifices, blood and life given for the country in perilous times, but in these to take the honors. We'll, the west is a child of the east, and parent is always willing to step aside and let honors fall on the rising generation. But sometimes the younger fry have to fall back on the old folks for support and counsel, and so sometimes the younger section of the country in an emergency looks over to the east, where the 'star of empire" first appeared. It is compliment to the east that in this emergency, when strong man IS needed for the republican candidacy, two men from New England appear so near the head of the list of candidates, and these lists made up in the homes of Sherman, Allison, Lincoln, Harrison and other giants of the party. Connecticut may feel proud that her ''favorite son" is so frequently named as among the strongest of the mentioned" " and looms up high among the possibilities, entire ly without any home boom in his own little state-not that his state is not proud of the honor implied, but that she feels that her size, and the disposition of the west to snub New England, makes her support of little value. But if the nation wants Gen. Hawley he is large enough for the nation, and for his own state, too. We'll retain our share, and rejoice in the honor that comes to us from the selection, in the fortune of the country in getting the best, in heart, brains and charac- ter, and in the evidence of good sense shown by the party that nominates, and the nation that elects him to the most honorable position in the world

Toward noon, to the great surprise of the whole family, he was up again, strut ting about as gay as ever, though deprived of his costly and necessary apparel.
